I’m not talking about level range I’m saying when the level cap in general gets increased to like 300-500 it’s likely gonna be a big issue by then
sure each sea in a dream world might have a “tight” enough lvl range to where it’s not an issue to players who are supposed to be in that sea according to their level (most likely will still be a problem since a 100 levels alone is quite significant) especially after 2nd awakening probably cuz they’ll have the same amount of tools, just the higher level player has access to stronger versions. However there’s not really anything stopping a high level player going to an earlier sea and slaughtering people a couple hundred levels below them
oh oof i thought you were using the level range argument to say that pvp restrictions are bad not that low level killing would become a problem later on
Maybe have it be every 50 levels, and this restriction of pvp can be entirely removed when fighting at an arena or in a party with friendly fire enabled
Yea that’s a nice addition but still massively gets in the way of hunting, the only way this feature could succeed if it were dynamic, since a flat 25 level range throughout the whole game will be very inadequate to say the least
tho still in general yall worrying about this too early, we still in early game so this isn’t that big of an issue to be worth putting a lot of effort into
Yeah 25 level difference seems good enough considering the base damage is based on your level and not the stat points. It’s just increased by armors/accessories and affected by what you use to attack so it shouldn’t be much of a difference if it’s 25 levels difference, so in other words, a low level player really cant fight against a high/max level player when they literally have the advantage of more hp and damage.
I feel like a better way this can be done down the line is that there are just pvp level barriers like in other games
1-59
60-89
90-119
120-199
200-299
300+
Or something similar.
This way, people can get most of their planned build ready before having to face those stinky rkers.
This sounds like a genuinely good solution for some of the problems that arise when pve and pvp players mix. It is quite ridiculous that ANYONE could kill you once you reach lvl 50, as you cant just defend against a max level mage as a lvl 50 mage, or whatever other classes you wanna be.
Not a great idea, I have a file where i have never done any quests, so i would be one of the only ones able to wollop any low leveled players, and gain immunity from high level players
I really do like the suggestion of the level range making the difference, cause 2 reasons.
It is the most fair way to expect people to be of around the same strength, or at least potential strength.
Leveling up happens all the time since there are so many sources, so any player that tries to stay low level to abuse their strength, is not gonna happen since they are forced to level up over time (so hard to abuse the ranges of the system)
I would say that a level range of 50, seems more reasonable, i know it would be frustrating at this moment in the game to only be level 75 and get killed, but as higher levels are realized, it would become better. And with a total of 1000 levels in the future, this would be needed.
This seems like a possible better way to draw the lines of PVP
Awesome stuff. What i would like to add is maybe the level difference varies between seas? Considering at lvl 125 we are basically leaving bronze, there will be a need for less tight level gaps to make fighting randomly more interesting. Maybe add it up by 5 levels for every sea:
Bronze/1st sea: gap of 25+ levels->no PVP
2nd sea: gap of 30+ levels->no PVP
3rd sea: gap of 35+ levels->no PVP
and so on
me personally like I saw somebody else comment on this post I think an uber powerful NPC should gank you if you kill low levels a certain amount of times, if he kills you he can reduce fame/bounty by alot, however I think bounty hunting/assassinations should be given some leeway because it dont make sense for the gravy not to want to arrest a criminal because it is unfair. but it should give less renown if you are hunting them. the npc would be called something like “The Retribution” or something edgy like that
25 levels is too small of a range, make it 50 levels apart or 75. as much as i want to say no to this suggestion, i just remembered aa (or ar) having this kind of feature
